Casualties of War
Saoussan Elghouass
6o years and more, Many lives were taken in that war,
Everyone fights to protect their land, So why call them terrorist men.
No houses, no water, no light, People die in Palestine tonight.
All they have is stone and soul, Do you think it’s a fair fight to role?
We say Salam, You say shalom, So why is peace in this land all gone?
Palestine, Israel, This holy land, that became a cemetery in the end.
(Arabic part) Hal mina man yasmaau suraka dalika atyfli al musharadi al felistini, Ayna umi, Ayna abi, Bal ayna ahly wa shaabi, La baytun yaaweeh, Wala umun tahmeeh, Wala makanun yalabu fehii baad al wakti leyulhih.
(Translation) Is their any of us who hears the screaming of that homeless Palestinian child, Where is my mother! Where is my father! In fact, where is my family, and my people. No house to sustain him, No mother to protect him, And also, no place for him to play some time, just to distract him a little from what’s going on.
